Reminder:  For senior students planning to graduate in Winter, Spring or Summer 2023 -- you should have received an email inviting you to join the PSY/CD Field Internship Orientation on Canvas—please accept the invitation if you have not yet done so. This Orientation introduces students to the current list of fieldwork sites and describes the process for securing field internship placements and enrolling in PSY/CD 453 or 454 for Winter 2023.  

Note: Even if you plan to continue at the same field site for PSY or CD 454 next quarter, you need to take part in this Orientation and complete the Interest Survey to secure your placement.

Research Internships for Winter 2023

Senior PSY/CD students who are planning to graduate in Winter, Spring, or Summer 2023 may find opportunities to work within faculty research labs as a research intern. These positions are limited.  Arranging a research internship is initiated by the student. Interested students will need to talk to individual faculty members about availability of research intern positions. A listing of current research interests can be found on the department website (Faculty Research Interests).

Research internships can count as one or both of the required internship experiences (CD/PSY 448 or CD/PSY 449). To enroll in a research internship, students must have completed Research Methods (PSY 329 or CD 329) and, possibly, Quantitative Research Methods (PSY 333) depending on the research internship supervisor.
